Abstract
Image processing equipment(100) has a thermally activated write head element (200) that builds up heat during operations and an improved heat exchanger assemblage (300) having a high surface area heat sink (312) that absorbs and then dissipates the heat. Heat exchanger (300), structurally connected to the write head element (200), includes an air moving means (304) having a backward curved impeller (306) driven by a compact planar de motor for producing higher impeller speeds with superior thermal transfer performance.
